Guest guest Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 I just wanted to say Thank you to everyone for all the help in deciding on a CSA to join this year. I found a few more that are closer to me than an hour and fifteen minutes :-) I ended up joining one in Milford, NH.....which is less than half an hour from my house, had pickups on Saturdays, and lets you choose your veggies versus packing a basket for you. This particular CSA does not have a work option, which is fine with me because I'm a full time Americorp VISTA volunteer and my schedule is tight as it is. I wasn't able to personally find anyone who was a member, but the local harvest website had a couple of reviews and they were thumbs up, so I took the plunge. I was a little unsure about full share versus half share, but I figured we would go whole hog this year and if it's too much then next year we do a half share. Thanks again everyone!

My husband was not in favor of it at first, now he loves it. I'm learning to garden organically in our area and we have had wonderful food. I think the CSA membership here is 365.00 for 16 weeks. Everyone gets the same box at different days of the week. I like having the food packaged for me, because we tried things I never would have before. I had never heard of sunchokes before, but we loved them roasted with some olive oil. Our farm gives out recipes with most boxes. Anything that looked like I had too much and would spoil, I froze or gave away. The food is usually picked either the same day the boxes are packed or 1 day prior so they are extremely fresh. My husband had never had some of the vegetables fresh before and the difference between fresh carrots and store carrots is amazing! If I couldn't work at the farm, we would definitely buy a membership. Fresh organice food can't be beat and dividing the boxes received by the dollar amount, it does work out to be a good deal financially too.
